I performed a gem install feedtools,
I then added these 2 lines to my environment.rb:
require ''rubygems''
require ''feed_tools''
I then added this method in my controller:
def rss
@post = Post.most_recent
feed = FeedTools::Feed.new
feed.title = ''Recent Rambles''
feed.subtitle = ''random thoughts by me''
feed.author.name = "Charlie Bowman"
feed.link = "http://www.recentrambles.com/rss"
feed.entries << FeedTools::FeedItem.new
feed.entries[0].title = @post.title
feed.entries[0].link =
"http://www.recentrambles.com/pragmatic/view/#{@post.id}"
feed.entries[0].content = @post.post
# Assumes this is inside a .rxml file
feed.build_xml("atom", 1.0, xml)
end
This causes this error:
uninitialized constant FeedTools
This error occured while loading the following files:
feed_tools.rb
What am I forgetting to do?

it should be: require_gem ''feedtools'' not require_gem ''feed_tools'' -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ve checked and I do have /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-linux/iconv.so I''m running fedora core 4 Any other ideas.

I realize this thread is old, but I wonder if this issue was solved (and as of this moment I can''t access the developer''s site). I am having the same problem right now. I am trying to use FeedTools under Locomotive on Mac OS 10.4. I did the gem install via the Locomotive Terminal.

If you can successfully execute: require ''iconv'' Then fine, it''s something else, but there''s a whole host of libraries that FeedTools needs, all of which should be required up at the top of feed_tools.rb. Try requiring each of them until you get one that fails. I should probably try to use a better way of notifying the user which library is missing or broken, but the problem happens infrequently enough that I haven''t gotten around to it.
